Beginning with my role as Co-Chair of the 36th National Conference of the Beginning Design Student (NCBDS), I have served on the Steering Committee to support the organization and advancement of this long-standing national forum on design pedagogy. My contributions include assisting with the selection of conference hosts, ensuring the continuity and accessibility of the NCBDS archive, and enhancing its visibility and impact as a scholarly resource for educators in beginning design.
